Sandra,
I just wanted to thank you for suggesting Intimacy for Dummies.
I am reading it now and it is helping me get a grip on my ex.
I failed to recognize some things in my old relationship, and I am now seeing that at the end he was running in the other direction.

I couldn't find the other book you mentioned about Loving, but next time I am in Barnes and Noble, I will look to see if they have it on their shelves.

Thanks again,
Lynne

I mixed up my dummies and the Idiots series of books.
This is the first time I had heard of the Idiots.
The name of the book is the Idiots Guide to Intimacy.
There is a chapter in the book which speaks about Relatives, and they were a biggie in my relationship.

Hope all is well,
I wasn't sleeping well a few nights ago. My ex's friend ws emailing me, and when I mentioned 'you-know- who', he just hd to mention his name. Then I found myself getting angry at myself for being drawn back into a conversation with him, and sent him an email telling him I had to take a break. I was upset about another procrastinated undone chore which left me holding the bag.
It takes me a couple of days to get out of crying mode, to where I can think about what I need to be doing around my house. I have enough reminders via prorastinated left undone things, I didn't mean to get into bash mode with his friend, so I emailed his frieind and told him that I needed a week off, and please don't mention him to me if he wants to remain friends with me. Depersonalizing the ex, was better for my psyche than when his name comes up. He is angry at his friend for some reason, so friend was "collaborating" with me. I don't want to collaborate. I was just upset about the thing I had to repair myself and so said 'you know who'.
I have an automated message now, which states I am on Mental Health Days off.

I hope today is better.
